ok well i decided to buy a nintendo wii,but my friends tell me that blacks ones dont have gamecube compatibility backup,(black are the only ones they sell now in gamestop)so i decided to get a white wii to play both wii and gamecube backed up games,but i dont know how to hack it?can all wii firmwares be hacked such as 4.3 and 4.2,and can someone tell me how it can be hacked or give me a very good tutorial on how to hack it.
thanks in advance

All wii firmware versions can be hacked. The best site I've found is wiibrew.org
What you need to do is find something that can install the Homebrew Channel for you. After installing you're all set to do whatever you want with the wii.

Dolphin is something that can let you play both Gamecube and Wii games on a PC. Just search google for dolphin emulator.

so i can even hack a 4.3 version and normally play backed up gc and wii games,thanks reamer87,can you post a tutorial,i know nothing about wii's so i dont want to mess it up....

Sorry, but I'm not gonna help you any further. Just go to the site and look around. You'll find tutorials there on the home page.

re4thewin's amazing 5 step tutorial on how to hack a wii

step 1. have a heartbeat
step 2. make sure your breathing
step 3. run bannerbomb
step 4. install cios/mios using tutorials from the interbutts
step 5. YOU DONE FOO

what is the latest firmware for the white wii,i need to know fast please

4.3

4.3 is the latest fermware! Yes it can be hacked! And I have done it!
BUT I dont know if it can play backups(never tried)

OK this is the easiest tutorial ive seen for hacking ANY wii. I think he has another one without using smash bros.

Good video.
I used Smash Bros to hack my second wii.
And it only took like 4 tries!

Used both the LoZ Twilight Hack and the BannerBomb on earlier versions of the Wii. Both worked great and were simple to use.

I've used every way known to hack wiis. I've hacked about 10 wiis already the only way that never worked for me was letterbomb

i think letter bomb is the one i might have to deal with,i got the wii but im missing an av cable,im getting it from my friend on monday,a stupid av cable costs 20 dollars at gamestop,i was like wtf
i still dont know which version i have......eager to know!

i have a cfw 3.4u,i just want to know if its better to hack it the way it is now,or to update it first to 4.3u,then hack it using letter bomb,which is better?
hacking in 3.4u
or in 4.3u?

i need this answered asap thanks

I haven't hacked my wii since we had to use the twilight hack back on around 3.4 so I dun kno much about hacking it anymore, but I kno about the latest cios [custom ios to play backup games, like cfw] an stuff like that.
I suggest you upgrade, I believe from around wii menu 4.1 or 4.2U, you can load data from the sd card on the wii menu. when you upgrade, upgrade from a homebrew app that upgrades, without Nintendo's bs. Please don't ever update directly from Nintendo
